A major academic controversy has raged in recent years over the analysis of the political and religious commitments of Samuel Johnson, the most commanding of the 'commanding heights' of eighteenth-century English letters. This book, one of a trilogy from Palgrave, brings that debate to a decisive conclusion, retrieving the 'historic Johnson.'

Robert Walpole foiled the Atterbury Plot by preventive arrests and holding those he suspected illegally without bail or trial. When Parliament met and the "Habeas Corpus" Act was suspended, he used show trials, decided by votes along party lines and depending on forged evidence, to curb the Tory party, to reunite the Whig party, and to consolidate his hold on power. Rich in new material, this book unravels for the first time the scale and international dimension of a plot which posed the most serious challenge to the Hanoverian regime before the '45 rebellion.

In one of the more sudden shifts of perspective, and hotly contested controversies of recent historical and literary scholarship, the view of Johnson has been fundamentally changed. This volume offers the richest account of what has been achieved, and points to the new directions in which scholarship is developing. It is essential reading for all concerned with 18th-century studies.

1916. The author was convinced that the purpose of this book was to supply the church with the vision of the world and earthly life as they see them, whose consciousness is centered in the spiritual and the eternal, and that only when this standpoint has been attained will it be possible to put to proper use the rich treasures which scholarship supplies. This volume only claims to be a tentative effort to deal with some of the problems of the Apocalypse from this point of view.
